Well, at last I have completed the pendants I started what seems like weeks ago.
Actually, it probably was weeks ago!
I always underestimate how long it takes to make things – and how much life seems to get in the way in between.
For instance, yesterday was an inset day at lad’s school. This necessitated me either a) being a good mum and providing some entertainment, interaction and activity for lad, or b) doing my own stuff and leaving him to fester in front of telly / computer / ipod for most of the day.
I plumped for the former. Because not only do I like to think that am I a good mum, but I also enjoy lad’s company.
And I figure that in a few short years he probably won’t want to be seen dead with me, so I should make the most of him while I can.
Anyway, as I had hinted yesterday, I did manage to finish most of my new batch of pendants this week.
Apart, that is, from the owl ones.
Because I stupidly didn’t resist the urge that should be resisted at all costs. Namely, the urge to prod at things that have been glued before they have had a chance to set properly.
Consequently I find myself having to re-glue half a dozen owls, instead of showing them off here and listing them in my shop whilst lad and his dad are out on their bike ride this afternoon.
Ah, well. Worse things happen at sea.
And lad, at least, thinks well of me – as evidenced by the abundant hugs I got yesterday.
And that, to me at least, definitely indicates a job well done. ♥
Well done you! For being a great Mum and and a brilliant maker. And yes the turquoise one for me please, not an easy decision as they’re all so lovely! xx
Thanks Rachel! I’m not sure I’m that great a mum, but I try hard and I like to think I’m not that bad!
The turquoise pendant is yours. I’ll put up a custom listing in my shop for you to purchase whenever you are ready.
I think you have done well to maintain the balance. My daughter is reaching that age when she escapes to her room quite a lot. I have to come up with something really interesting to encourage her out. Make the most of it. Love love your pendants.
Thank you! I know, lad has reached the age where he spends a lot of time listening to music on headphones, reading and playing on his ipod, but he still responds to suggestions to do things with a reasonable level of enthusiasm. Our inset day involved a few charity shops, a deli sandwich lunch and a game of Monopoly, all of which we both enjoyed 🙂
I had a day out w my gal in leiu of studio time yesterday, and we had such a great time together. At 11 she’s chatty and funny.
The pendants are great…once your new ones hit the shop I’ll post about mine! Might need to order an owl for my gal so she keeps her hands off my apple. xo
